Ah, interesting, I hadn't noticed that HTRequest_clear() exists!

In my code, I have been successful in reusing HTRequest objects. When doing
this, make sure to reset any altered attributes to their defaults. For
example, if you add extra headers sometimes (pragma no-cache, if-mod-since,
ranges etc), remove them again.

Some snippets - pragma no-cache:

  if (pragmaNoCache)
    HTRequest_addGnHd(request, HT_G_PRAGMA_NO_CACHE);
  else
    HTRequest_setGnHd(request, static_cast<HTGnHd>(HTRequest_gnHd(request)
                                                   & ~HT_G_PRAGMA_NO_CACHE));

Ranges:

  HTRequest_deleteRange(request); // Delete old range, if any
  HTRequest_addRange(request, "bytes", "1234-"); // Add new range

Cheers,

  Richard
